accettiamo

Accettiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb accettare, meaning “we accept” or “we acknowledge.” It is used to express agreement or consent in a wide range of contexts, from everyday conversation to formal negotiation.

Accettare derives from Latin acceptare, from acceptus, and it belongs to the first conjugation (-are) in Italian. The present tense forms include io accetto, tu accetti, lui/lei accetta, noi accettiamo, voi accettate, loro accettano.

In usage, accettiamo signals acceptance of proposals, terms, invitations, or conditions. Examples: “Accettiamo l’offerta” (We accept the offer); “Accettiamo di incontrarci domani” (We agree to meet tomorrow). In written forms such as contracts or official correspondence, the form conveys consent or approval on behalf of a subject.
